Find Ancestors

Liza

I have Ancestry which is £80 a year, and you can find so much info on there, also there a many on here that will do look ups for you.

The only thing i can say is be prepared to what you might find out.

I foung out my Gt G/mother was a bit of a loose woman, am i bothered by it, no that was her life.

On here so far you have found your Nan was married before, she was married only a few months and he died in the war.

Thanks Julie

Any help on where I should start looking for Ancestors or what records I should be looking at would be much appreciated .

Thanks

No Worries Liza


From the B/C you'd get an idea if Mildred was married before cos it would say

Mildred Glaister formerly Rigby nee Lambert

Hi Julie

No I do not have either of their birth certificates, I am not being a lot of help here am I?

I have my father Derek Glaister's death certificate who died 01/09/05 in Northampton.

Mildred L Lambert married James W Rigby Q2 1940 Sunderland 10a 1619


Seems Mildred was married before

Updated....Found grooms name

I'm Wondering if Mildred was married before she married Joseph

Do you have Derek's or Allan B/C

Hi Julie

I got Mildred Lamberts mothers maiden name from the birth register Jan, Feb & March 1922 Vol 10a page 1578.

No I do not have the marriage certificate but know Mildred was born 05/01/1922.

Found their marriage but

Mildreds name is coming up as Rigby

Joseph H Glaister married Mildred L Rigby Q1 1942 Nthmbld. W. 10b 827


But Dereks MMN is showing as Lambert

Liza

Do you have Glaister/Lambert Marriage certificate.
For their ages & dads names


Also where did you get Mildreds Mums maiden name

Julie

Sorry about all the questions

Hi Julie

Yes I am sure of the Glaister/Lambert marriage, if it is of any help Mildred Lamberts mothers maiden name was Hankin of Sunderland.

Liza

Are you sure of your G/dads marriage to Mildred Lillian Lambert, if you are i'll look for their marriage and get the ref numbers

Thank Julie/Sophie

I am fairly new to all this and didn't realise it was going to be such hard work!

The reason I have not ordered the birth certificate is because I am not 100% sure this is my grandads birth register record. Being fairly new to this I am frightened I have just assumed this is him, because this is the right year and the right area!

This is probable his parents marriage, but get the B/C to be 100% sure

Marriages Dec 1912 (97%)

Hi Liza

It will be best for you to get your G/dads birth certificate for his Parents names

Julie

Hi can anybody help me in tracing my grandfathers family, unfortunately I have little information.

My grandfathers name was Joseph Henry Glaister born 1920, Birth Register Volume 10b Page 1233 quarter Jul, Aug, Sept.

His mother is registered as Littleton of Wigton.

My grandfather married Mildred Lillian Lambert in the early 1940's and they had two children Derek Feb 1943 & Allan 1946 who were both born in Sedgfield.

If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.
